A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM REV. LUZ
My Dear Beloved Community,
Your collective face of love has been in my thoughts and prayers. I know that many of you are going through tough times and health challenges; and suddenly, we have another challenge in front of us, the COVID-19 virus. Sometimes it feels like enough is enough, and yet here is another lesson and another opportunity for us to not only “go through this experience” but also for us to “grow through this experience."
In light of the high concern over the spread of the Coronavirus, your Board of Trustees and I have elected to suspend all classes and events through the month of March and possibly further.
In light of the high concern over the spread of the Coronavirus, your Board of Trustees and I have elected to suspend all classes and events through the month of March and possibly further.
This goes into effect Tuesday, March 17th . Our office staff will be working remotely. Be assured that you can still get in touch with us via our church number (352)746-1270. We have the capacity to answer calls remotely. We will definitely return your call.
Our Sunday Service at church will also be suspended during this time. A modified live streamed service will be offered via Facebook. It is my hope that you will stay connected to your spiritual community and not be given over to fear during this public health concern of the coronavirus. Be assured that I, your Board of Trustees, your LUTs, and your Prayer Chaplains will find ways to stay connected with you. I know that it will not be the same as being together in person, but I know that the energy of love that we all share at Unity of Citrus will still be felt.
Your continued support of tithes and offerings during this time is greatly appreciated. We have many expenses to meet and your tithes and offerings help us meet these expenses. They are essential to our functioning. As I say every Sunday, you are the source that keeps our doors open. I know those doors will be open very soon and we will joyously resume normal operations and it will be because of your love and support.
One way you can easily continue to financially support your spiritual home is by sending your donation via the web site Donate tab or, you may want to consider setting up a regular transfer via your bank, this is zero cost to you and the full amount is credited to your church.
I encourage you to follow the spiritual principles that we teach and follow the recommendations from public health officials (which is a lot of common sense) to keep yourself safe and as much as possible, disease free.
. Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water is not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
. Stay home when you are sick.
. When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue.
. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
My dear ones, you are important to me. Both your spiritual and your physical well-being matter to me. I invite you to join with Unity Worldwide Ministries and Unity of Citrus in prayer: We know that God is Love that has no end and a Power that knows no bounds. God’s healing power of Divine Life is restoring, healing and revitalizing our world this very moment. We let go of any fears or anxieties, and we affirm that all are safe, healthy, and protected. We bless all those who support us in maintaining vibrant radiant health. We express Divine Life in all we think, say, and do. We bless our Unity and global family with radiant health, peace of mind, and abundant love.”
Let us remember the words of Emmett Fox, “life is consciousness.” We know that consciousness is cause. When we know the truth of wholeness for ourselves, it has an effect. May we all join in affirming health and safety for all, releasing fear and worry, and standing in God’s truth and power.
In Loving Oneness,
In Loving Oneness,
Rev. Luz
